wish we had deletes on here
Discussion
Maybe we will start choosing better our words, and checking more if the concepts we are publishing are worth or fits with our views.
If it is, I am ok with no delete button. If in the future I would like to delete a post, I will comment under it and express why I changed Idea since that post, or why I was wrong or no more believe in what I previously wrote.
Post and then Delete like something never happend was and is used too much to hide or cover the past.
If you can't delete, you have no ownership of your posts. Every alternative product supports these basic features
Not true IMO.
You completely have the ownership of your words and speach, if you are speaking to a group of people, you can say whatever you want. But after you said that, you can't erase that from their minds, thoughts or memory, but they still are your concept, that you Choosed to share in first place.
This is why I said, probably knowing you could not delete, we should take more responsibility of what we wrote. 🍀☯️
Ownership implies that you have control over it and can take it away. It's a basic social networking feature to delete posts. We are talking about computer data here, not what you hear.
Taking responsibility in what you write can also mean that you should be able to delete something you said in error or misjudgment.
It happend to me recently that I made a bad "joke" because I didn't see a possible misinterpretation in the word I used, because I not English mother language, and I for me when I say black is just about the pure colour and not anything else or connected with race or similar thoughts.. anyway after I posted, I immediately could see that it could be seen in a certain way and I would like to delete it. I just commented under it, explaining better myself and my error, even if it was genuinely not meant, but I understood it could be seen far from what I had in mind, and I apologized for that.
Anyway, just saying that even if in the future Delete option would be possible, I don't think I will use it, taking more responsibility of what I wrote. Not saying is the optimum or the good way, just mine from now.
I like the edit and delete features. Mostly because I’m in my phone without my glasses when I post. Look at it a half hour latter, ok thanks auto correct😧
